Summary: Pages Readers Group Reviews "Raising Fences"
Comment: Raising Fences by Michael Datcher is truly a black man's love story. A story of love found love lost betrayal and everything in between. Michael Datcher opens up to his readers in way that lets you know he is not holding back! From his feelings on being an adopted male, to his discovery of the opposite sex, he brilliantly places the reader in his life situations allowing you to see how his choices helped develop him into the successful man he is today.
Lastly, just when you think you know him well, he expertly uses his poetry to give the reader an even deeper insight into his true self. Raising Fences is definitely a great read. One that leaves "Pages" anxiously waiting for more.

Summary: Hope for Black Love Relationships....
Comment: This book was unbelievably refreshing. In fact I was so impressed with the level of honest reflection and emotional depth in Raising Fences that I have discussed it with almost every man I know. Datcher's willingness to let us see inside his soul had provided a context
for Black men and women to discuss the issues that are plagueing our relationships. He gave me hope for Black Love and also set a new standard for communication between the sexes. I may start a book club just to keep talking about how good it is. The icing on the cake is the beauty of the poetry and prose throughout the book. I predict that this is a classic that will keep people coming back again and again. Beyond the love story, we have a basic "coming of age" formula within a battleground of tumultuous experiences that could easily have shaken the foundation of anyone's belief system. Yet, Datcher captures the struggle and creates a jewel for his readers to enjoy. Buy two. Read one and share the other.

Summary: Time FIller
Comment: This book is good for a time filler. Example...I read it before bed and during my breaks at work. However, I didn't find it a serious, mindblowing, fascinating read. There were some interesting parts of the story, but I was mostly bored. Maybe it's not my style, but, I'd rather not spend my time on boring poetry and an overdramatic portrayal on life.
